We are planning a trip this fall, and I remember Continental had a big discount last summer, so I've beeh holding out. I can't find the thread, but it seems like some people have received refunds from Continental when the price dropped, but in the older threads I found, Continental was not giving any refunds. If anyone has received a refund, was it actually a refund or a coupon for another flight, and was there a change ticket fee?

I should have said - sorry I don't know the answer to your actual question, but yapta will help.

Hi, Ed! I actually received an almost $400 refund credited back to my Visa that I used to purchase the tickets with.

Thanks. I think I'll go ahead and buy my tickets and hope for a drop in price. It will make my fall trip a lot more real too!

I purchased tickets through Continental 3 weeks ago.

Tom, I"m curious...did CON actually tell you they would impose the "change" fee? They did not mention it to me when I called them. Maybe the type of tickets were different, tho. Not certain.

I received a email from yapta with the price drop and additional amount that the price needed to go down for a refund. I did not check with the airline. My only information is from the yapta site under "refunds" there is a list of the different airlines refund policies. If you find that it is different than I found please notify me.

Carole, I just re read your previous message. I see that you did get a refund. I am going to call CON tomorrow and report back my findings.

Tom, I never mentioned Yapta to CON...I only advised CON that I had checked and noticed the rate for our airfare had gone down to $$$$. The agent advised me she would credit my VISA and she did. No word of Yapta at all on my part...might be best to let them know you went to the CON web site and found the rate drop. You might want to do that just prior to calling CON anyway, to be certain it did not change "again"! Keep us posted. cb

I called CON today, I did not mention yapta, only that I noticed that the price went down and asked about a refund of a credit. They told me that there is a $1oo.oo charge per ticket to change. We must have purchased types of tickets. The fare class on my tickets is Economy V.

Tom, Sorry it didn't work out well for you. We purchased first class seats so that might have held a different code regarding refunds, etc.

You're smart Carole B!! I had no idea the Ink Spots made that popular. I do remember the song from Dr. Strangelove though I don't mean to convey the same sentiments of the movie - that was wierd!
